Biography

At one time, he was considered for the throne of Bulgaria, which eventually went to his brother Alexander.[1] Francis Joseph nevertheless followed his brother to Bulgaria, where he served as a colonel in the Bulgarian cavalry.[2] In 1891 he published an academic study on Bulgarian economic history, which he dedicated to his brother.[3] He made a proposal of marriage to Consuelo Vanderbilt in 1894, but she disliked him on sight and refused.[4] On 18 May 1897 he married Princess Ana Petrović-Njegoš of Montenegro, (Cetinje 18 August 1874 – 22 April 1971 Territet), daughter of Nicholas I of Montenegro. There was no issue of the marriage.[5]
